"I... I was just passing by, I'll just grab something and leave!" As Bu Yu said this, he could already feel the frost rising around him.
He couldn't help but shiver, gave Qian Youxue a look that said "good luck," and slunk out through the side door.
Yawn, yawn!
Qian Youxue sneezed several times from the cold, subconsciously rubbing her hands, which were chilled by the cold air. Carefully considering Bu Yu's earlier gaze, the slow-witted girl finally realized something was amiss.
"Come here!" Xuan Mingye beckoned to her with his finger.
Qian Youxue's eyes darted around, thinking only a fool would dare to go and get beaten up. It was so cold, so incredibly cold. Who knew if this madman would turn her into a giant ice pop when he went berserk? For her own life, it was best to slip away as soon as possible.
So, without giving anyone a chance to get close, she muttered a spell, made several complex hand gestures in the air, creating a barrier in mid-air, and then her figure moved swiftly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Xuan Mingye came to his senses, the courtyard was completely empty; he couldn't see a single person in sight. He waved his hand, opening the barrier in front of him, but didn't chase after them.
A helpless smile played on his lips as he murmured, "You are destined to be my consort, and sooner or later you will return to my embrace."
Yawn! Yawn!
As soon as Qian Youxue jumped over the walls of the Prince's mansion, she sneezed repeatedly. She could imagine how dark someone's face must be.
However, she was betting he wouldn't dare chase after her; who knew how many spies were waiting outside? Since he was faking his lameness and illness, and he'd been exposed so easily, the rest of the act was ruined.
She smugly dusted off her hands and glared fiercely at the gate of the Prince's mansion. This place was truly not for ordinary people. Anyone without cultivation would either be beaten to death or freeze to death.
"Miss, over here, over here..." Yunhe had already been escorted out by Leng Mo and was standing outside the wall waiting for her master to appear. Seeing that refreshing figure, she hurriedly chased after him.
"Yunhe, you've been out for a while now?" Qian Youxue was overjoyed to see Yunhe and almost forgot where she was.
Shh...
Yunhe tucked her fingers together, making a gesture to be quiet, and pulled the young lady to hide in a corner.
Whoosh whoosh!
Not far away, several figures swiftly leaped over the back wall of the Prince's mansion. Qian Youxue counted ten people. Were they here to take advantage of the chaos, or were they preparing to go in and die?
Ah... Ah...
Before the two could recover, a series of horrific screams came from inside the wall, and then, bang bang bang, several corpses were thrown out of the wall like pieces of pork.
"Go! Go quickly, this is a dangerous place!" Qian Youxue urged Yun He timidly. Seeing too many dead people can easily give you nightmares. Besides, her clothes are already dirty enough. They were brand new, and if they get stained with blood, they won't look good.
Yunhe nodded, telling her mistress to wait there. She went over and examined the corpses, finding nothing on them that could identify them. Hearing footsteps approaching again, she dared not linger and led her mistress towards the back alley and then to the main street.
Fearing they might be followed back, the mistress and servant strolled around the streets again to make sure no one was following them before climbing over the wall back into the Qian family courtyard.
At this moment, Mei'er was sleeping soundly in the room, a sweet smile on her lips, and the incense that the young lady had just given her during the day was burning on the table.
